Topic: Reelz Channel ad on DirecTVPosted: 16 Aug 2009 at 5:33am |

I don't know if Reelz Channel is also offered on cable, but on DirecTV, it's channel 238.
The commercial for it is so amateur and irritating, it makes me want to scream. I haven't even actually watched it; I really listen more to the TV while I'm on the computer or doing other things, so it's the "song" (and I use the word loosely) that gets me. I don't even know where to find it (I tried YouTube, but only half-heartedly), but it's one of those songs I hate where the guitar plays the same melody as the singer, each syllable both sung and strummed. I wonder if anyone knows what I'm talking about. But I hate it. Grrr. |

If you're reffering to the commercial that has a really annoying, poorly sung song, then we have the exact same commerical on DishNetwork (I think it's channel 299 for us)
apparently an annoying song is supposed to get me to watch previews for movies I don't plan on seeing...

repoed2, it's probably the same. It sounds like it.

Oh yay!! Just want I want to see, a channel showing movie previews!! If I wanted to watch that I could rent a DVD and sit through all the ad sh*t or go to a movie and pay big bucks to watch commercials.
You know there are too many TV channels when you have a channel that shows movie previews. EDIT: I do have this channel, channel 275 on TWC. |

thank you faith. i was going to make a topic on this myself but couldnt find a video or any words to describe the rage this commercial incites. there are not any synonyms for the hate pulsing through my veins every time this comes on. i swear anymore making a commercial as annoying as humanly possible is a new tactic to get you to want to watch/get whatever bullsh*t theyre hawking. i dont see it working very well.

Fishingmachine, I know exactly what you mean. I feel your pain. It's just something that makes you want to scream, "SHUT UP!!!!"

Yep, I have seen this commercial and it is atrocious. It's a guy singing in a whiny voice off-key and occasionally "saying" some of the word in a sing-songy way instead of actually singing it, if that makes sense. "Channel 238, that is Reelz channel, Channel 238 - that's the REELZ channel." Reminds me of a song you'd hear on Barney? Really, REALLY irritating.

Dish network has had a similar running of this horrible commercial too, instead of "Channel 238", it is replaced with one to fit the Dish network version, by saying "Channel 299."
Thankfully, haven't heard from this monstrosity in a while. |
